Ralph Wilson

Ralph Cookerly Wilson, Jr. (October 17, 1918 – March 25, 2014) was the founder and owner of the Buffalo Bills, a team in America's National Football League (NFL). He was one of the founding owners of the American Football League (AFL), the league with which the NFL merged in 1970, and was the last of the original AFL owners to own his team. At the time of his death he was the oldest owner in the NFL, at age 95, and the third-longest tenured owner in NFL history (over 54 years, behind the 63 years George Halas owned the Chicago Bears and almost equal to the 55 years Art Rooney owned the Pittsburgh Steelers, although Rooney's ownership and team operations were interrupted in the 1940s due to some complicated dealings). He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009.

Early career

Wilson grew up in Detroit, Michigan, the son of salesman Ralph Wilson Sr. and his wife, Edith Cole.

Plot: Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) is a long-serving MI5 officer. His boss and best friend Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon) dies suddenly, leaving behind him an inexplicable file, threatening the stability of the organization. Meanwhile, a seemingly chance encounter with Johnny's striking next-door neighbor and political activist Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz) seems too good to be true. Johnny is forced to walk out of his job, and then out of his identity to find out the truth. Set in London and Cambridge, PAGE EIGHT is a contemporary spy film for the BBC, which addresses intelligence issues and moral dilemmas peculiar to the new century.

Quotes:

Nancy Pierpan: When you don't know the truth everything freezes and you can't move on.

Johnny Worricker: I had a feeling that if I asked a favour you were a sort of person who'd come through.::Nancy Pierpan: You trust me. Why on earth would you trust me?::Johnny Worricker: Because that's the job. Deciding who to trust. That's what the job is.::Johnny Worricker: Also, you told your father that I work for the Home Office.::Nancy Pierpan: I lied.::Johnny Worricker: Yeah.::Nancy Pierpan: You trust me because I lied.

Plot: Miss Jones, the favorite teacher of the kids, announces that she is getting married and will not be their teacher next years. Spanky, Alfaffa and the other kids devise many schemes in order to get either Miss Jones or her Fiancee, Ralph Wilson, to call off the wedding.

"I was completely surprised at his statement (to resign)."

"He wants to move on."

"Mike said 'I want to see you in your office' and he said 'I'm going to resign as head coach of the Bills. Of course, I was completely surprised at his statement. He seemed very firm about (it). He said he wants to move on."

"We're bringing Marv back so that he can bring a stability to the Buffalo Bills."

"Eric hasn't practiced this week so he won't be ready to play Sunday. He is suspended for one game without pay. From there on, he'll be back and will play the final three games of the season, which I hope we'll do better than we have so far."

"I'm against playing it in cold weather. But that wasn't the decisive reason Phoenix got the game. It was the new stadium and the weather that that area enjoys at that time of year. That's what decided my vote."

"I don't know, ... They'll have to show me. We've got a lot of good players and I want to see what they do in the second half."

"We don't want to be baseball. It's the Yankees and everybody else there."
